Do I eat the protein bars because I excercised? Or, do I excercise so I can eat the protein bars?

  This recipe is inspired by Foxy Firecracker. She's an amazing roller derby girl with the Winnipeg Roller Derby League. She sells protein bars for the skaters, but sadly did not have a vegan option for me. We talked about some ideas and I decided to give it a go. I think they turned out excellent. Very delicious and you can't taste the protein powder at all. I used Genisoy Soy protein powder in the original flavour. 

 Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

• 2 cups Quick Cooking Oats
• 1 cup Peanut Butter (Smooth)
• 14 scoops Soy Protein Powder
• 1/4 cup All Purpose Unbleached Flour
• 2 tbsp Flax, Ground
• 1 tbsp Chia seeds
• 2 med Bananas
• 1/3 cup Pure Canadian Maple Syrup
• 1 cup Chopped Peanuts
• 1/4 cup Vegan Dark Chocolate Chips 

Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together. Press into a 9x13 pan (using parchment paper on top so it doesn't stick to your hand) and bake at 350 for 15 min.

Let the bars cool slightly then cut into 14 pieces. Let the bars cool completely before packaging individually. Store in the fridge.
